It's been kind of a stressful week here at the BlueTower, as we have two
geriatric relatives who are ailing: My step-grandmother, who is very much a real
grandmother to me, is in the ICU with complications following heart surgery (as
if heart surgery on a patient who is 90-something could be uncomplicated to
start with). And Hudson the wonder dog has been mostly off her food for a week
after a bout of vomiting and diarrhea we believe was caused by a round of antibiotics for a skin
infection, and it doesn't take much of a hunger strike to make a skinny
13-year-old purebred dog seem to waste away. My tendency to internalize this
kind of stress has now bitten me in the back, if not the backside, as I am now
suffering with a backache, which is not only the first I can recall in over 10
years, but also by far the worst I've ever experienced. The good news is that
both patients seem to be doing better: The doctors say our grandma is on the
right track after a few setbacks, and after being taken off the pills, Hudsy is
slowly starting to get her appetite back. It was only after things started
looking up that my back attacked me, so I may manage to still be ailing as
everyone else is recovering, which is fine by me, as it would mean that everyone
else is recovering.

Rockstar still doesn't seem to be able to actually realize what I want my character to look like.

You're not missing much. I can't even do the first mission: for the second time today, I'm trying to do the first race and the game just freezes at the "blurry city" scene while the radio plays away...awesome job, R*!

I finally got it to load the first race. It lagged and even though I ran through the checkpoints it told me I didn't. I finished dead last. PHJF was on, but neither of us had any bullets because other players kept ganking us. I started a death match mission and the game froze. Then I pretty much gave up.
